This 2017 K-Tec 1228 is a pull scraper — sometimes called a towed scraper or earth scraper — a type of earthmoving equipment designed to cut, carry, and spread large volumes of soil and material across a site in a single pass. Pull scrapers are widely used in land grading, road construction, site preparation, and agricultural earthmoving, where they are towed and pushed by crawler tractors or wheel tractors to move substantial quantities of material efficiently. K-Tec is a well-regarded Canadian manufacturer specialising in large-capacity pull scrapers built for high-production earthmoving applications.
This example is offered used from Iowa, USA, at $149,000. It carries a rated bowl capacity of 28 cubic yards, making it suited to high-volume cut-and-fill work. The cutting width is 12 feet, and the machine is fitted with a three-piece cutting edge, which allows individual sections to be replaced as they wear rather than requiring a full-width change — a practical benefit that reduces maintenance costs and downtime on demanding projects.
The machine rides on 23.5 R25 radial tyres, a robust tyre specification appropriate to the loads and ground conditions typical of earthmoving sites. It is also equipped with a push block, which allows a dozer to apply direct pushing force to the rear of the scraper during loading, improving cutting performance and productivity in harder or heavier materials where the towing unit alone may not generate sufficient drawbar pull.
